BOSTON—Marian Hossa got hurt in warmups for Game 3 of the Stanley Cup finals on Monday night, so he did not play against the Boston Bruins. It is unclear what happened to the rest of the Chicago Blackhawks.

The Western Conference champions played one of their worst games of the year, although with the way Tuukka Rask played in goal for the Bruins, it may not have mattered. Rask recorded his third shutout of the playoffs, making 28 saves, and the Bruins took a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series.

Daniel Paille followed up his overtime goal from Game 2 with the opening goal of Game 3, 2:13 into the second period, and Patrice Bergeron followed with a power play goal later in the middle frame to provide more than enough support for Rask and spoil a valiant effort by Chicago goaltender Corey Crawford, who made 33 saves. Game 4 is Wednesday night, which the Blackhawks have to hope is enough time to figure out a power play that is 0-for-10 in the series after an 0-for-4 performance on Monday.

The Bruins have won seven straight home games, outscoring opponents 21-10 dating back to Game 7 of the first round against Toronto. Boston has not allowed a goal on home ice since Chris Kunitz scored in the second period of the Pittsburgh Penguins' double-overtime loss in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals.

While the Bruins have won all of the Game 3s they have played in this year's playoffs, the Blackhawks have lost all of theirs. Chicago was shut out for the second time in the playoffs, having also suffered a 2-0 loss at Detroit in Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinals.

BO NO: Dave Bolland had a nightmare of a second period for the Blackhawks, and ended it sitting in the penalty box having to feel more shame than usual.

On Paille's goal, after Crawford's initial save on Tyler Seguin, Bolland got lost in the corner, allowing Chris Kelly to chip the puck out to Paille for the shot. Then, it was Bolland who was in the penalty box for cross-checking when Niklas Hjalmarsson had to make a last-ditch trip of Paille rushing to the net. Bolland got out of the box before Bergeron's goal, but not soon enough to really be part of the play.

Bolland's initial penalty short-circuited Chicago's first real spot of momentum in the period after Paille's goal. His second penalty came when he tripped Johnny Boychuk along the boards, and Bolland started the third period in the penalty box. He made one more visit to the box with 6:05 left in the third for tripping David Krejci.

HIGH FIVE: Jagr's pass to Bergeron for the power-play goal was his 197th career playoff point, snapping a tie with Paul Coffey for fifth all-time.

The only players in the 200-point club for the playoffs are Wayne Gretzky (382), Mark Messier (285), Jari Kurri (233), and Glenn Anderson (214). The next active player behind Jagr is Patrik Elias, with 125 points.

Jagr's eight assists are tied for 13th in this year's playoffs. Not bad for a 41-year-old.

CHICAGO SHUFFLE: With Hossa a late scratch, the Blackhawks had to assemble forward lines that had not practiced together.

Ben Smith, Hossa's replacement, played with Bolland and Patrick Sharp, while Chicago captain Jonathan Toews centered Marcus Kruger and Michael Frolik. That left Patrick Kane with Michal Handzus and Brandon Saad, with a line of Bryan Bickell, Andrew Shaw, and Viktor Stalberg rounding things out.

It was the Kane-Handzus-Saad line that showed the most immediate promise, generating Chicago's best early even-strength scoring chance when Saad left a drop pass for defenseman Duncan Keith entering the Boston zone.

Keith also had an excellent chance on one of the Blackhawks' two first-period power plays, but inexplicably passed from the left hashmark rather than taking a shot. The pass was intended for Toews, but the chance got broken up in traffic.

On the same power play, Brad Marchand had the best scoring opportunity of a goalless opening period, sprung for a shorthanded breakaway by a Zdeno Chara outlet pass. Marchand did incredible work to control a bouncing puck, but somehow lost it off the blade of his stick after settling it on the ice in front of Crawford, who had earlier made a headlong dive to poke check Daniel Paille on a shorthanded rush.

When he got back to the bench, Marchand smashed his stick in frustration.
